Select an SSID based on APRS
®
to add to your call
sign, to show your operating style to other stations.
The addition methods of the SSID may differ,
depending on whether the call sign includes a space
or not.
• ---: The space in call sign is converted to “-.”
If no text is entered after the space, the
space will be deleted, and the space is not
converted to “-.”
Example: JA3YUA → JA3YUA
JA3YUA A → JA3YUA-A
• (-0): No SSID is added. If a call sign includes a
space, any text or digit after the space will be
deleted.
Example:
JA3YUA → JA3YUA
JA3YUA A → JA3YUA
• -1~-15: Adds an SSID of -1 to -15 to your call sign.
Example: SSID is “-9.”
JA3YUA → JA3YUA-9
JA3YUA A → JA3YUA-9
• -A~-Z: Adds an SSID of -A to -Z to your call sign.
Example: SSID is “-Z.”
JA3YUA → JA3YUA-Z
JA3YUA A → JA3YUA-Z
About the SSID
To assist in identifying a station’s type, designated
call sign SSIDs are used in D-PRS (APRS
®
),
according to a common guideline. The guideline may
be changed when the infrastructure environment,
such as a product or network, is changed. Please
check the latest guideline in the web site related to
D-PRS and APRS
®
, and correctly set.
